Outlook Planning and Development provides valuable planning advice to architects and home owners in the preparation of development applications for new dwelling houses and alterations and additions. The planning advice we provide in the preparation of the development application is valuable in minimising delays in obtaining approval.
We work on multi dwelling housing – town house development projects within the Sydney metropolitan and regional areas, Central Coast and Newcastle/Hunter areas. We provide initial planning advice, preparation of Statement of Environmental Effects and lodgement of the development application. We provide direction for dwelling yields and help get the project over the line.
Boarding Houses are becoming increasingly popular for savy developers. We work on a range of in-fill affordable housing and boarding house development applications made under State Environmental Planning Policy – Affordable Rental Housing 2009 (SEPP – Affordable Housing). We have extensive experience in this area and can provide initial planning advice, preparation of Statement of Environmental Effects and lodgement of the development applications.

We provide initial planning advice, preparation of the statement of environmental effects and lodgement of the development application. We can also assess whether Complying Development Certificate is a viable approval option.

Where a site compatibility certificate is required from Department of Planning we have experience in the preparation and lodgement of this as your first step in the approval process.
Rezonings are the pathway to progress within the property market. It is the way that unsuitable land becomes highly valued land. We can help you turn that piece of rural land into a residential land release.
We work on a range of projects including large sites accommodating large retail and commercial floor area with residential units to small in-fill sites. We provide initial planning advice including an assessment under State Environmental Planning Policy 65 (SEPP 65) and the Apartment Design Guide (ADG), the preparation of Statement of Environmental Effects and lodgement of the development application.
